I am not an Elon fan on a personality level, but I bet I wouldn’t be a fan of almost any CEO, of any car company or other business, since they all seem to be detached narcissists. The difference is most CEOs stay quiet and don’t make it so easy to dislike them. Remember the old saying “better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you are stupid, rather than opening your mouth and removing all doubt”
Anyone who can’t stand Musk and won’t buy a Tesla because of him better not buy a Lucid instead.
If personality was a requirement nobody would be buying iPhones back in the Steve Jobs days.
My ex-boss used to report directly to him and said he was an insanely temperamental guy.
Also I once learned when working for a financial firm with a hot-headed Portfolio Manager.
To his boss
Me: Why do you keep this guy. He's a jerk and completely terrorizes everybody
His Boss: Unfortunately you'll find its the jerks who get things done and usually make the most money for a company.
